Account Setup Instructions

Gather the following information

Gather the following information prior to setting up your NotifyLink account on your device. You may need to consult your NotifyLink administrator for the mail server name and authentication password.

Mail server name	This is the external address or domain name of the NotifyLink server. (It is best to use a domain name, as opposed to an IP address.)
Email address	Your email address on the groupware server.
*Authentication Password	A password generated from the NotifyLink Enterprise Server identifying you as an authorized NotifyLink user. Consult your NotifyLink administrator for this password.

*Important! During the account setup process, TouchDown will prompt for “Password.”
Though the field description reads, "Your Exchange password,” you must enter the Authentication Password assigned to you by your NotifyLink administrator.
Consult your administrator for this password or log into the NotifyLink Client Web and select, General > Device to view the stored password. See Accessing the NotifyLink Client Web.

Setup Your NotifyLink Account on the Device

Since the NotifyLink server has the ability to communicate via the Microsoft ActiveSync protocol, you use the Exchange ActiveSync account setup procedure on the device to create your NotifyLink account. Though field descriptions may be labeled “Exchange,“ keep in mind that you will always enter credentials associated with your NotifyLink account.
